I thoroughly enjoyed it and then I saw he had placed an advert in a catering magazine. So I thought I\u2019d apply, and after two interviews I got the job. I came down from London to Cornwall to become Rick\u2019s number two in the kitchen. Obviously as his programmes took off, so he became less and less involved in the kitchen and promoted me to head chef.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: What is special about the new Seafood Bar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Ripley:<\/strong> The original Champagne and Oyster Bar was expanded adding grills, a fryer and other equipment to enable us to put a number of new dishes in the bar. Not just oysters and shellfish, they are still on the menu but we are doing a few more things up here now. Not even just fish, we\u2019re doing a couple of meat dishes as well now. It\u2019s going really well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: What style of food do you serve up here?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Ripley:<\/strong> We feature dishes from Rick\u2019s new book about Spain. And the dishes from that have proved really popular. We\u2019ve got a tapas theme going on, where people try a lot of smaller dishes. It\u2019s an intimate atmosphere and sitting at the bar you\u2019re almost in the kitchen watching the food being prepared for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: What\u2019s your favourite dish on the current menu?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Ripley:<\/strong> I like the scallop dish, which has become our signature dish. It\u2019s with Guindillo peppers and chillies, tomato and Serrano ham. The scallops are put under the grill with a few breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_181\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/contraflowconsulting.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/09\/seafood_bar_paul_ripley_sml_2.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-181\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-181\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/contraflowconsulting.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/09\/seafood_bar_paul_ripley_sml_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">image \u00a9 davidgriffen.co.uk<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: How much local produce features in your menus?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Riple<\/strong>y: Rick prides himself on using as much local, sustainable English produce as possible. It\u2019s the best in the country we think. Cornwall\u2019s got some of the best ingredients, best produce and now some of the best restaurant in the country as well.<\/p>\n<p>Cornwall is in the running to be officially named as the top county in England for food. We find out in the next couple weeks if we\u2019ve won it would be great for the chefs down here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: You must be able to get some of the freshest fish in the country in <\/strong><strong>Falmouth<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Ripley:<\/strong> Yes, we pride ourselves on using the freshest fish. Even the chip shop uses all the freshest stuff. It may be a couple of quid more than ones down the road, but if you could see the fish coming in the morning you\u2019d see that it\u2019s definitely worth paying a little bit more for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UrlaubCornwall: The chip shop seems very popular, how is it going?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Paul Ripley:<\/strong> Downstairs is ticking over really nicely.
